Grado modders go Magnum
What material are you using for the baffle, and is the port centered in the baffle? I have the V7 and find them to be loose in the lower frequency.- retox

Try to see if Grado will send you a pair, if not then PM me and we can work out the cost of shipping. I will give you a pair free, but the shipping is on you.- retox

Send Grado an email telling them that the gimbal broke. They will ask for your address and most likely send you a new pair. They did that for me. Cheap, only a stamp for the email... If that doesn't work let me know...I have several spares. -retox- retox

I completed my latest project on Sunday. They are SR-60e drivers and stock cable inserted into a pair of turned down 325 cups. Added a leather headband and presto...SR-325-60e. They sound pretty good at first listen. I haven't had time to really sit down and give them a good listen.- retox

The Howie's look great. Did you glue each piece of wood together prior to turning on the lathe?- retox

I got to say that the look of these inspired me. I have a pair of early 325 cups with one bad driver so I thought I may as well experiment with the cups. I used my metal lathe and turned the cup down to what you see. I have a new pair of SR 60e headphones that I might use the drivers and...- retox

To "Y" or not to "Y" that is the question... So I just finished a pair of headphones, Popular Cups, and Magnum V7 drivers. So I decided to go with a single detachable cable using three strands of 30 AWG silver coated copper wire in paracord. Mini jack on headphone cup end, and mini jack...- retox

BTW, I am not the originator of this method. Found it on the web, so it must be true.- retox

gasmono I have successfully split several pairs of 325 by using a shallow baking dish with water at a level as not to touch the drivers when inserted. The driver obviously is pointing up. I bring no more than 3/4" of water to a boil in the microwave and place on the counter. Then I...- retox
